Ep. 12 - That Darn Apple!

I was shocked to see that the apple I served to my son never ever turned brown. The left over apple slices left on the counter stayed white and fresh looking for over 24 hours! So of course I had to dive in and research what in the world happened to make my apple NOT turn colors. I learned why engineers are genetically modifying apple varieties now as a more common technique, and which apples naturally carry an enzyme to keep from browing, safely staying away from GMO's. I wanted to share this information with you! As well as quick easy tips on how to keep your yummy apple from turning colors after slicing, perfect for school lunches and the kiddos!

Ep. 10 - Battle of the Burgers

It's hard to have a constructive conversation about anything to do in the foodie industry when your guest is your husband who is not only an Executive Chef but also the world's most hilariously snarky human being who has something sarcastic to say about everything! So as we recall the times when we used to judge burger competitions amongst restaurants, we also "attempt" to discuss the current popularity between veggie burgers, vegan, the Impossible burger, turkey, black bean, bison, and finally the all American classic hamburger making a comeback!

Ep. 9 - Who Wants to Know?

"Ask and ye shall receive"! As a radio personality who has a food podcast, I am approached ALL THE TIME with questions about cooking or recommendations. I thought it would be fun to answer some of the random questions I've been asked just recently, including; What do I do with a ham bone? How can I eat pasta every day and still lose weight? What's wrong with store-bought broth? What else is quick and easy to make when my family is bored of meals with rice, but I'm not a good cook?? . . . Well let me shed some light on these answers for you, my pleasure!

Ep. 8 - Picky Kid Problems

Do you have a picky kid when it comes to eating? I do! It is a struggle trying to get my son to try or taste any food that isn't pizza or chicken nuggets or waffles. Outside of his tiny little box of things he WILL eat ... I want to pull my hair out finding ways to get him interested in the things he WON'T eat. So! Here are some of my own helpful ideas, tips and new yummy dishes I have learned by experimenting that have gotten my son to surprise even himself. As parents, it's our job to change these picky palates! ;-)

Ep. 7 - Fold in the Cheese

Taking on some new resolutions this year, Donna is ready to learn some new cooking techniques, new recipes to attempt, and wants to put the phone down and use classic cookbooks instead! Just like the scene in Schitt's Creek where they try to figure out what it means to "fold in the cheese", Donna is going to lean on trial and error to figure out what it means to expand her own comfort zone in the kitchen and add some new experimental dishes to her repertoire.
